Since there is no culture or civilization without government and no government without taxation then taxation is not "stealing".

So really no offense intended but none of the "arguments" you've made on this subject pass the giggle test. I'm halfway convinced you're just pulling our leg with this stuff.
I agree with everything except the "taxation isn't stealing." Taxes that are supported by the Constitution, such as a fair tax and license taxes, are perfectly fine. The Federal Income Tax, however, is unconstitutional in that the Supreme Court ruled repeatedly that the government shall not tax personal income. So, everytime you get your pay stub and it shows how they automatically take out those taxes, just know that they have stolen that money from you.
